#Castle Savoia #Italy

[nncastle]

Queen Margherita of Savoia’s summer house, completed in 1900, boasted technological advances such as hot and cold running water, indoor bathrooms, two boilers, radiators, electricity, and telephone. She spent a quarter century enjoying her fantasy castle and exploring the peaks. A bedroom was made for her husband, but Umberto I was assassinated by Italian-American anarchist Gaetano Bresci before the castle was completed. Only one of the five towers is real, the rest are follies. The views are spectacular from the castle.

In the heart of the Italian Alps, Castle Savoia emerges from the winter's grasp, a spectral masterpiece veiled in an ethereal cloak of snow. Those fortunate enough to have ventured within its storied walls in bygone eras found themselves transported to a realm where time itself seemed suspended.

Once traversed by the footsteps of nobility and adorned in the finery of Renaissance opulence, the castle now wears a different gown — a seamless robe of purest white. The echoes of past whispers and muffled laughter resonate through the snow-laden courtyards, a haunting testament to the regal gatherings that once graced these hallowed halls.

The turrets, now encrusted with glistening ice, stand as sentinels guarding the memories etched into the stone. As winter's icy fingers trace the outlines of history, Castle Savoia becomes a canvas for nostalgia. For those who once reveled in its chambers, the snow-laden landscape serves as both a bittersweet reminder and a silent invitation to revisit the cherished moments suspended in the dance of snowflakes.

As daylight wanes, the castle takes on an otherworldly glow, bathed in the soft luminescence of moonlight reflecting off the snow. Those who once marveled at its grandeur would find solace in knowing that their presence lingers in the frosty air, entwined with the castle's timeless allure. Castle Savoia, draped in the poetry of winter, remains a testament to the whispers of the past, inviting wanderers to unravel the threads of history beneath its snowy veil.

Savoia Castle in Italy.

[rosefrancaise8]

The Piazza Unita’ has been promising to stage a half marathon since we got here. A finishing line and some official tents have been in place but not an athlete in sight. This morning as we walked down to the Savoia Hotel to meet our tour group, we saw that traffic was being diverted for a family fun run from the Castello di Marimare to the Piazza. We would have happily stood cheek to jowl with all the other residents of Trieste cheering those runners on if we had been here - but we were on our way to Slovenia’s Lake Bled and it’s capital Ljubljana.

We were two of nine this time. Two of our companions spoke little English so I am pleased to report that my wonky Italian got a bit of a workout. I’m sure that if I had a few more weeks here I would be a true proficient. In Bled, we landed slap bang in the middle of an Harmonika (piano accordion) festival. In the half an hour of free time we were allotted we managed to consume a chicken roulade with wedges swimming in a delicious gravy, a beer and a cream cake similar to a vanilla slice that is a signature dish for the region and is said to have been invented by a hotel beside the lake. It was wonderful to be amongst it. Perfect.

At Ljubljana, after we were shown a few sites including the impressive triple bridge that good old Archduke Ferdinand had had constructed, we were given about an hour to ourselves to explore. True to form (and because we had no need to stop for lunch) we went looking for the best view over this lovely city that we will only have fleeting memories of. That involved taking the funicular up to the castle - a feat of engineering rammed into solid rock. We had seen the inside of enough castles by then so decided to sit in a very nice outdoor cafe in the castle grounds and have wine and ice cream instead. Our sort of castle.

I nodded off most of the way home (as I had most of the way there) but I wasn’t the only one. As my head nearly dropped onto the shoulder of my unsuspecting Italian companion I thought of the trip mum and I took to Europe 40 years ago. No sooner had the coach started to move than mum would be flat out asleep snoring softly away and loving every minute of it.
